  • LTE aims to support services provided from the packet switched (PS)-domain.
  • PS packet switched

  • LTE and other systems that used shared radio resources support fast "dynamic" scheduling where resources on the shared channels, e.g., in LTE this includes the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), are assigned dynamically to user equipment (UE) terminals and radio bearers on a sub-frame basis according to the momentary traffic demand, quality of service (QoS) requirements, and estimated channel quality.
  • This assignment or scheduling task is typically performed by one or more schedulers situated in the eNB.
  • the UE 20 may be configured to report the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) to aid the eNB 18 in its dynamic scheduling decisions.
  • CQI Channel Quality Indicator
  • the UE 18 bases the CQI reports on measurements on downlink (DL) reference signals.
  • the DL scheduler in the eNB 18 dynamically assigns time and frequency radio resources, i.e., scheduling blocks.
  • the dynamically-scheduled radio resource assignment is signaled on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in the LTE example.
  • PDCCH Physical Downlink Control Channel
  • Each UE 20 monitors the control channel to determine if that UE is scheduled on the shared channel (PDSCH in LTE), and if so, what physical layer radio resources to find the data scheduled for downlink transmission.
  • the uplink scheduling concept is illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • the UE 20 informs the UL scheduler in the eNB 18 when data arrives in the transmit buffer with a Scheduling Request (SR).
  • SR Scheduling Request
  • the UL scheduler selects the time/frequency radio resources the UE will use and also selects the transport block size, modulation, and coding because link adaptation for the uplink is performed in the eNB.
  • the selected transport format is signaled together with information on the user ID to the UE. This means that the UE must use a certain transport format and that the eNB is already aware of the transmission parameters when detecting the UL data transmission from that UE.
  • the assigned radio resources and transmission parameters are sent to the UE via the PDCCH in LTE. Later, additional Scheduling Information (SI) such as a Buffer Status Report (BSR) or a power headroom report may be transmitted together with data.
  • SI Scheduling Information
  • BSR Buffer Status Report
  • BSR Power headroom report
  • dynamic scheduling is the baseline for LTE and other systems, it can be less than optimum for certain types of services.
  • services such as speech (VoIP) where small packets are generated regularly
  • dynamic scheduling results in substantial control signaling demands because a radio resource assignment needs to be signaled in each scheduling instance, which in the case of VoIP, an assignment must be signaled for every VoIP packet.
  • resources may be assigned semi-statically, which is called “semi-persistent" or “persistent” scheduling.
  • a semi-persistent assignment is only signaled once and is then available for the UE at regular periodic intervals without further assignment signaling.
  • HARQ hybrid ARQ
  • processes multiple stop-and-wait HARQ "processes”.
  • the motivation for using multiple processes is to allow continuous transmission, which cannot be achieved with a single stop-and-wait protocol, while at the same time having some of the simplicity of a stop-and-wait protocol.
  • Each HARQ process corresponds to one stop-and-wait protocol.
  • Figure 4 shows an eNB 18 with an HARQ controller 22 that includes multiple HARQ entities 1, 2, ..., m (24), with each HARQ entity managing HARQ processes for a corresponding active UE 1, 2, ..., n (20).
  • Figure 5 shows each HARQ entity 24 managing one or more HARQ processes A, B, ..., n (26).
  • One way of looking at the HARQ process is to view it as a buffer. Each time a new transmission is made in an HARQ process, that buffer is cleared, and the transmitted data unit is stored in the buffer. For each retransmission of that same data unit, the received retransmitted data unit is soft-combined with the data already in the buffer.
  • Figure 6 illustrates an example of the HARQ protocol where P(X,Y) refers to the Yth transmission in HARQ process X.
  • the example assumes six HARQ processes. If a large number of higher layer packets (e.g. IP packets) are to be transmitted, for each transmission time interval (TTI), the RLC and MAC protocol layers perform segmentation and/or concatenation of a number of packets such that the payload fits the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given TTI. The example assumes for simplicity that one IP packet fits into a TTI when RLC and MAC headers have been added so that there is no segmentation or concatenation.
  • IP packets e.g. IP packets
  • Packets 1 through 6 can be transmitted in the first six TTIs in HARQ processes 1 through 6. After that time, HARQ feedback for HARQ process 1 is received in the receiver. In this example, a negative acknowledgment (NACK) for HARQ process I is received, and a retransmission is performed in HARQ process 1 (denoted P1,2). If a positive acknowledgment (ACK) had been received, a new transmission could have started carrying packet 7. If all 6 first transmissions failed (i.e., only NACKs are received), then no new data can be transmitted because all HARQ processes are occupied with retransmissions. Once an ACK is received for an HARQ process, new data can be transmitted in that HARQ process. If only ACKs are received (no transmission errors), then the transmitter can continuously transmit new packets.
  • NACK negative acknowledgment
  • ACK positive acknowledgment
  • synchronous HARQ may be used for the uplink and asynchronous HARQ for the downlink.
  • TTI transmission time interval
  • the base station scheduler has the freedom to choose the subframe or TTI for the retransmission dynamically.
  • ACK/NACK single-bit HARQ feedback
  • a problem created by introducing semi-persistent scheduling, as is currently proposed for LTE for example, is that a receiving UE cannot match-up a dynamically-scheduled retransmission of a HARQ process with the initially-transmitted HARQ process that was semi-persistently scheduled. If HARQ is operated in asynchronous mode, as is currently proposed for example in the LTE downlink, the problem is how the HARQ processes should be selected for semi-persistent scheduling. After a semi-persistent assignment, both the HARQ transmitter entity as well as the HARQ receiver entity would, for example, randomly pick an idle HARQ process with potentially different HARQ process IDs.
  • the eNB does not send an explicit assignment referring to a particular HARQ process ID. If the HARQ receiver can decode the information, it delivers the information to higher layers and acknowledges the reception. But if decoding fails, tehn the HARQ receiver sends a negative acknowledgement, and the HARQ transmitter issues a retransmission of that HARQ process. If the retransmission is scheduled dynamically (as in the LTE downlink), then the corresponding dynamic assignment must contain the identifier of the HARQ process. It is likely that the HARQ transmitter chose a HARQ process ID for the initial transmission that was different from the HARQ process ID selected by the HARQ receiver.
  • the HARQ receiver cannot match the dynamically retransmitted HARQ process unambiguously to a pending HARQ process.
  • the present invention is defined by a method according to claim 1 and a user equipment according to claim 7. Preferred embodiments are set out in the dependent claims.
  • data units are communicated between radio stations over a radio interface.
  • a radio communications link is established between the radio stations, and a semi-persistent radio resource is allocated to support data transmission over the communications link.
  • the semi-persistent radio resource is associated with a corresponding automatic repeat request (ARQ) process identifier.
  • ARQ automatic repeat request
  • Non-limiting examples of a semi-persistent radio resource include a regularly scheduled transmission time interval, frame, subframe, or time slot during which to transmit a data unit over the radio interface using an assigned radio resource in the frequency or code domain. Retransmission is requested of a data unit transmitted using the semi-persistent radio resource.
  • the ARQ process identifier associated with the semi-persistent resource is used to match a retransmission of a data unit dynamically scheduled on the communications link with the requested data unit retransmission.
  • the ARQ identifier is a hybrid ARQ (HARQ) identifier, where a retransmitted data unit is combined with a previously-received version of the data unit, and where the HARQ identifier is associated with a HARQ process.
  • HARQ hybrid ARQ
  • the semi-persistent radio resource may be associated with multiple corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifiers.
  • HARQ hybrid automatic repeat request
  • the association between the semi-persistent radio resource and the corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier may be communicated in a number of ways.
  • One example is using a configuration message, and another is using a scheduling assignment message.
  • a base station includes a resource manager that allocates a semi-persistent radio resource for the radio connection, transmitting circuitry for transmitting data units to the UE using the semi-persistent radio resource, receiving circuitry to receive a request from the UE to retransmit one of the data units transmitted using the semi-persistent radio resource, and a processor that facilitates retransmission of the one data unit using a radio resource, (different from the semi-persistent radio resource), that is dynamically scheduled by the resource manager.
  • the resource manager associates the semi-persistent radio resource with a corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) identifier and provides that association to the UE so as to permit the UE to use the HARQ identifier to determine an identity of retransmitted data unit.
  • HARQ hybrid automatic repeat request
  • the HARQ identifier is a HARQ process identifier.
  • An example user equipment includes receiving circuitry for receiving from the base station information indicating that a semi-persistent radio resource is allocated to support data transmission from the base station over the radio connection. Thereafter, the UE receives data units transmitted using the semi-persistent radio resource. The UE also receives from the base station an association between the semi-persistent radio resource and a corresponding hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Preferably, the UE stores that association. The UE stores information received in the semi-persistent radio resource in the HARQ process associated with that resource. A transmitter sends a message to the base station requesting retransmission of the data unit associated with the HARQ process and previously transmitted using the semi-permanent radio resource if it detects a transmission error.
  • HARQ hybrid automatic repeat request
  • Processing circuitry e.g., in the UE, associates a received retransmission of a data unit dynamically scheduled on the radio connection with the corresponding pending HARQ process based on the HARQ process ID signaled in the dynamic resource allocation.
  • the HARQ operation in an LTE type system can be either asynchronous, where the HARQ process used for transmissions and retransmissions is explicitly signaled on a control channel, or synchronous, where the HARQ process is not explicitly signaled, but instead the HARQ process is tied to the timing of the transmission, e.g., to a system frame number.
  • the benefit with a synchronous protocol is that out-of-band signaling is not needed to identify the HARQ process associated with a (re)transmitted data unit. This is particularly important in the uplink where it is costly in terms of power to achieve a high reliability on the control channel signaling.
  • the main mode of operation for the downlink scheduler is dynamic scheduling, where the base station transmits scheduling assignments to the UEs, based on current conditions, needs, and resources, to indicate which radio resources the UEs have been allocated for uplink transmission and downlink reception.
  • a dynamically scheduled resource does not persist, i.e., does not remain allocated to a UE, after the scheduled transmission is over.
  • the base station also indicates how a data transmission is to be coded and modulated in both uplink and downlink.
  • the HARQ process identifier and redundancy version may be included on the control channel, e.g., the L12 control channel, together with the dynamic scheduling assignment.
  • a data unit retransmission may occur at any time after the NACK feedback has been received in the base station transmitter.
  • a data unit retransmission may occur at any time after the NACK feedback has been received in the base station transmitter.
  • This is done by indicating the HARQ process in the scheduling assignment on a control channel, like the PDCCH, both for the initial dynamically-scheduled transmission and subsequent dynamically-scheduled retransmissions.
  • a problem with semi-persistent scheduling is that there is no scheduling assignment before each transmission/retransmission that provides the HARQ process identity of the transmitted unit sent via the semi-persistent resource. But the HARQ receiver still must match dynamic retransmissions of a data unit, e.g., a MAC PDU, with the persistently scheduled first HARQ transmission of the same data unit.
  • a data unit e.g., a MAC PDU
  • the eNodeB For a semi-persistently allocated resource, the eNodeB does not send a dynamic assignment message, and thus, cannot request a particular HARQ process to be used for the initial transmission of a data unit. Therefore, the eNodeB randomly selects one of its idle HARQ processes and uses it to prepare and transmit a data unit using the semi-persistently assigned transmission resource. The UE also randomly selects an idle HARQ process and prepares to receive and decode data expected from the eNB. If the UE can decode the initial transmission from the eNodeB, then there is no problem.
  • the eNodeB sends a dynamically scheduled downlink assignment indicating the resource, modulation scheme, transport format, and the HARQ process ID for the retransmission.
  • the indicated HARQ process ID very likely does not match the identifier of the randomly chosen process the UE used for initial reception.
  • the UE could identify such a dynamic resource assignment and match it to the HARQ process used for reception of the semi-persistent allocation.
  • the UE could identify such a dynamic resource assignment and match it to the HARQ process used for reception of the semi-persistent allocation.
  • RTT round trip time
  • FIG. 7 depicts an example of a problem where the UE and eNB in some situations can end up using the same HARQ process.
  • TTIs transmission time intervals
  • RTT round trip time
  • the dashed boxes indicate transmissions, first transmissions in the HARQ processes 1, 5 and 2 are indicated by the numbers 1, 5, and 2 respectively. Retransmissions in the same processes are indicated by 1', 5', and 2'.
  • the transmitter in asynchronous HARQ is not restricted to using the HARQ process in any given order.
  • the eNB makes a semi-persistent transmission during TTI 6 indicated by a question mark (?) because the HARQ process identity is not known by the UE.
  • the UE can conclude that this retransmission must belong to the transmission marked with the question mark since in this special case there is no other HARQ process outstanding. So it is possible for the UE to correctly combine a retransmission with a transmission done in a semi-persistent resource, but only if the HARQ processor in the UE keeps track of the all the HARQ process IDs being used.
  • a dynamic downlink assignment indicating a retransmission for the process with HARQ process ID 4 must correspond to the expected retransmission of the data unit associated with the semi-persistent assignment.
  • Figure 8 shows the case where the eNB intended to transmit dynamically scheduled data in HARQ process 4 (indicated by the number 4), but the scheduling assignment was not received by the UE.
  • the UE receives the scheduling assignment for the retransmission of HARQ process 4 (indicated by 4')
  • the UE tries to combine this retransmission with the semi-persistent transmission indicated by a question mark. The result is a combination of two different data units that ultimately results in excessive delay.
  • each semi-persistent resource allocation is associated with a particular HARQ process.
  • the eNodeB includes an identifier of the associated HARQ process in a message it sends to the UE.
  • that message could be a configuration message, (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) configuration message), that configures the semi-persistent allocation of transmission (or reception) radio resources.
  • RRC radio resource control
  • the association may be conveyed along with a scheduling assignment message or some other suitable message.
  • the HARQ receiver e.g., the UE in the example where asynchronous HARQ is used in the downlink, stores that association.
  • the HARQ receiver can determine if the HARQ process identifier for a dynamically scheduled HARQ retransmission corresponds to the HARQ process identifier for an initially transmitted data unit sent via a semi-persistent resource, i.e., sent without a resource scheduling assignment.

  • a semi-persistent radio resource is allocated to transmit data units over the radio connection (step S2).
  • the semi-persistent resource is associated with an ARQ process for this connection (step S3). If there is a need for more than one semi-persistent process for a radio connection, then the association can be established with multiple ARQ processes.
  • the receiving radio station requests a retransmission of one of the transmitted data units, and the transmitting radio station retransmits the data unit using a dynamically scheduled radio resource (step S4).

  • TTI 3 + N where in this non-limiting VoIP example, N equals 20 msec
  • TTI 3 + 2 N TTI 3 + 3N, etc.
  • the semi-persistent resource assignment may also be conveyed to the UE by a message sent over a control channel, e.g., the PDCCH, indicating that the assignment is semi-persistent.
  • a control channel e.g., the PDCCH
  • the control channel approach is assumed in this example.
  • the base station is also transmitting dynamic scheduling assignments.
  • Dynamically scheduled assignments are shown in Figure 12 at TTIs 10, 11, and 12 indicated by the three downward arrows labeled as (C) pointing to solid black blocks.
  • each scheduling assignment schedules one data unit in an HARQ process that is identified in the dynamic scheduling assignment.
  • the data unit transmissions in TTIs 10, 11, and 12 are allocated HARQ processes 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
  • the illustration in Figure 13 assumes that the base station sends a VoIP data unit during the semi-persistent TTI 3 and that the UE does not receive it correctly. As a result, the UE sends a NACK back to the base station. After receiving that NACK, the base retransmits that same VoIP data unit during dynamically scheduled TTI 22 as indicated by the downward arrow at (D). Thereafter, the next VoIP packet is then transmitted in TTI 23 as indicated at (B).
  • the UE knows that the semi-persistent resource TTI 3 and the HARQ process 0 are associated because the UE stored that association information earlier. That way, when the UE receives the dynamically scheduled data unit at TTI 22 (indicated at (D)), along with the HARQ process 0 identifier, the UE knows that the data unit received is actually the retransmission of the HARQ process 0 data unit initially sent at TTI 3. Because of that association, the UE knows that the HARQ process 0 corresponds to the data unit sent during TTI 3.
  • the allocation of HARQ process identifiers for the semi-persistent allocation is restricted to process identifiers that are not used for dynamic scheduling of data. For example, if there are a total of HARQ processes, dynamic scheduling might use HARQ process identifiers 1...6 and the semi-persistent allocations can be made with HARQ process identifiers 7 and 8.
  • the technology described above allows asynchronous HARQ to be used in a reliable way for semi-persistent scheduling, increases the throughput, and minimizes the error cases for semi-persistent scheduling.
